I put 285/75/17 Terra Grapplers on my JKUR after a 2" budget boost. They've been a great tire so far, and I have no complaints. Some say they wear fast, but of everyone I know who have put them on Jeeps (not large trucks), they wear fine. I have 10,000 miles on mine so far and they look brand new (I do a 5-tire rotation every 3,000 miles).

Thanks. That snow is a few months old now... However, we did have a very mild summer down here, so I'm hoping that means more snow this year. Hopefully you guys will get some too.
The Mamba wheels are nice. I'm not sure if I'll keep them, though. I'm debating on jumping up to 35's in a few years when these wear out, and from everything I've seen, 35's won't go on anything but 8.5" and larger rims. I was looking at going with 35" Duratracs, but their minimum rim width is 8.5".
